Prefabricated buildings are structures manufactured in a factory and transported to the construction site which are then assembled in a proper building. Structural steel frames, on the other hand, are the skeletal framework of the building, wherein the prefabricated parts are installed. To build these frame structures, various types of materials are required which include metal panels, wooden panels, glass, plastics, composites and other reinforced plastics. They are ideally suitable for temporary structures as they require less involvement of cost and time, thereby being relatively inexpensive. Prefabricated construction is being widely used in the GCC region since it helps in waste management and saves energy. According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “GCC Prefabricated Building and Structural Steel Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022”, the GCC prefabricated building and structural steel market reached a value of nearly US$ 3 Billion in 2016.

The GCC countries are focusing on economic diversification so as to reduce their dependence on the oil and gas sector. In line with this, they are planning long-term strategies for sustainable growth, and therefore, are opting for prefabricated buildings in the construction sector. In addition, increasing investments in the infrastructure sector by both, public and private stakeholders, have further created growth prospects for the market. Moreover, a surge in the tourism sector coupled with upcoming events in the GCC region have led to a demand for quick and cheaper construction solutions. On account of these factors, the market is expected to reach a value of more than US$ 4 Billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 7% during 2017-2022.
